"I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" ~ galileo
There is beauty in the clarity and silence of the dark night. I love that. Stepping outside after a long day and resting a minute on the front porch step. The loud of the world is silenced and there is purity in the smell and sounds - smells and sounds that you can only experience when the world decides to rest. The stars gleam more brightly when it is darkest. In those moments I feel so small. And, in that smallness comes a calm. I exhale deeply, releasing all troubles of the day. It feels that the world weighs on me some days and then I realize that it doesn't. This is just another day. And with that brings another tomorrow and another opportunity to not only just exist but to live. I draw in another deep breath and grin, a thankful smile for the blessing of a wonderful life.
...Now back to doing laundry ;) - Which, reminds me of a saying a heard somewhere...
Dishes to do means we have food in our bellies, Laundry to wash means we have clothes on our bodies, and a house to clean means we have a roof over our heads.... And, toys to trip over means I have the most amazingly awesome little man in my life...
Yup, Our Life is pretty fantastic!
I hope you all have a phenomenal weekend!
